Prime Minister’s Illegitimate Daughter - Chapter 3

At this moment, Senior Servant Xu was standing behind the First Wife, Bai Feng, gently massaging her shoulders to soothe her muscles and bones. She even recounted the news of Chu Mengli being bedridden due to her injuries from Yinhe Garden.

Actually, Madam Bai already knew that Chu Mengli was injured. How many things could the Prime Minister’s Estate hide from her? Moreover, the commotion from that day was not small, and the maidservant in Chu Mengli’s courtyard even invited a doctor to enter the mansion.

When Shen Yi, Chu Mengli’s own mother, walked in, there was only Madame Bai and her two concubines in the house. Chu Zhennan did not say how much he loved her, but he treated her with respect. However, ever since Shen Yi had entered the Sect, Chu Zhennan had spent most of the month at the Zhihe Garden. The two of them were like glue and had an abnormal affection for each other. Naturally, they treated the other three indifferently.

In addition to her outstanding looks and extraordinary temperament, the people who came to propose marriage at the age of twelve broke all ties with her. Now that it was the prime time of the year, she was even more beautiful than before.

Although the first daughter of the Bai Family, Chu Mengyun, was not as outstanding as Chu Mengdie, she was still gentle and generous. Two years ago, he had married Lu Qian, the eldest son of the Military Department’s President, the eldest son, Chu Tianzo, who was Chu Zhennan’s only son. His father’s good genes allowed him to grow up at the age of 18.

Mrs Bai felt that although she was unable to get her husband’s love in this life, but fortunately, her three children were better than the sickly girl that Shen Yi had given birth to. She felt a faint sense of pride that Shen Yi had lost to her in terms of the quantity and quality of the children she had.

“Dia’er will be in her prime in two months, and we need to start preparing for her wedding as well, but don’t be careless, it’s going to be hot and rowdy, don’t be afraid to use the silver, I’ve already arranged with the wife of the kingdom for her to host the wedding ceremony, later you can call Steward Huang over and I’ll give him some instructions.”

“Rest assured Madam, this old servant will be saved. It’s a great honor to have a lady of the country come to preside over the ceremony for the second miss!” Xu mama was also very happy. “Second Young Miss’ marriage should be set by now. Does Madam have a choice in mind?”

Madame Bai closed her eyes as she enjoyed Senior Servant Xu rubbing her shoulders, her brows creasing slightly. My Dia’er is not something an ordinary person can think about. I don’t care about the others, but from the looks of it, His Highness seems to be interested in Dia’Er. If it’s true, Die’er is going to be the Crown Prince’s consort, and will be the Queen in the future as well. ” The Bai Clan was somewhat beaming with joy.

Madame Bai became even more pleased with herself, “That’s not strange, this Bei Yue, my Die’er is one of the most beautiful and gentle, talented people in the world. Once Die’er enters the palace and becomes the crown prince’s consort, our Prime Minister’s palace will be the royal family, and the emperor will pass the throne to the crown prince! My Die’er will be the empress, and the Prime Minister’s wealth will have to depend on her!”

“That’s right, that’s right!” Xu mama hastened to compliment.

The discussion between the master and the servant was in full swing as they completely immersed themselves in beautiful fantasies, becoming more and more out of step with reality.

The next day, Chu Mengli had just woken up. She carefully wiped her face to avoid the wounds. He then carefully wiped his hands and washed them.

She and Zhong Xia were in charge of Chu Mengli’s daily living and a servant girl in the garden as well as other daily chores. Midsummer was calm, so she was in charge of the daily chores in the courtyard.

“Miss, is the breakfast ready for you?” Xin’er had draped a piece of clothing over Chu Mengli.

“Yes.” Chu Mengli lightly replied.

Only after seeing Xin’er carry the water basin out did Chu Mengli remember that she had spent the past few days in a daze and accepting the original owner’s memories. In addition to the injuries on her head, she couldn’t get out of bed, so she put on her soft shoes and went to the bronze mirror.

In the bronze mirror, a palm-sized face could be seen. It was somewhat thin and pale, with a pair of delicate eyebrows. The pair of eyes that were as big as autumn water were very lively. Chu Mengli touched her cheeks, her skin as exquisite as cream. Although her facial features had yet to grow, one could see that she was a beauty. Chu Mengli was quite satisfied with this face, but her body was a bit thin. In her memory, Chu Mengli was always sickly, but this showed that there was still a lot of room for growth.

When Xin’er brought the breakfast in, she walked around the screen and saw Chu Mengli in a daze in front of the bronze mirror. She panicked and quickly placed the tray on the table. “Aiya, Miss, why are you here?” Your injuries have not recovered yet! ” Her small face was full of nervousness. She quickly helped Chu Mengli to get back onto the bed.

She laid on the bed for three days, feeling uncomfortable all over, and her head wasn’t dizzy yet. It was just that her external injuries weren’t healed yet, so Chu Mengli tried to move, “How could she be so delicate? I feel much better, I don’t need to carry breakfast to the bed, so let’s just put it on the table and eat.”

The heart does not dry, “That will not do, your head injury has not been quick, blowing wind how to do? Sister Zhongxia said you can’t see the wind. ”

Chu Mengli sat in front of the table, “It’s not like I’m out of the house, what kind of wind can I get? “I’ve been lying on my bed for the past few days and my body has become stiff. If I don’t move now, I’ll really become a cripple.”

In the past, Miss was always weak and delicate, but when she was sick, she had to lie on the bed for more than a month. Her voice was soft and soft, but this time, she seemed to have changed a little, becoming more lively.

Even if her personality had changed, she was still her young lady. She would just have to serve her wholeheartedly. So even though Chu Mengli’s change was strange, he didn’t think too much about it.

Chu Mengli simply used some porridge and sent the cores off.

Since there was no one in the room, Chu Mengli tightened her clothes and walked out of the room. The weather was still cold in the early spring, but the sun was shining well, Chu Mengli put her hand on her forehead and looked up at the blue sky. She took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling extremely comfortable.

“Why did Miss come out? Miss’s head injury has not healed yet, so you should see the wind so as to not leave behind any headaches. ” Midsummer passed under the porch.

Chu Mengli lowered her hand and turned around with a smile, “It’s fine, the weather is good today.” He touched his forehead and said, “There’s nothing wrong with my head. If I don’t go out to bask in the sun now, I’ll grow moldy mushrooms.” Then, he stuck out his tongue playfully.

Zhong Xia was stunned. She had never seen such a young lady before. She was a meticulous and meticulous person, unlike a heartless person. Naturally, she noticed the changes that the young lady had undergone after being injured.

“Zhong Xia was a bit worried, but he felt that the little miss must have hit her head.” “Miss, can this servant take your pulse again?”

Chu Mengli knew that Zhong Xia was worried about her, so she slightly rolled up the sleeves of her undergarment to allow Zhong Xia to examine her pulse.

“The lady’s pulse is calm and her blood flow is unobstructed. She has not suffered any internal injuries.” Zhong Xia let out a sigh of relief and asked with some worry, “Does Miss feel uncomfortable there recently?”

Chu Mengli shook her head.

“Where’s the head? Does it hurt? Do you feel dizzy? ” Why did his personality change?

Chu Mengli looked at Zhong Xia’s puzzled expression and finally realized that this girl had changed. “Silly girl.” She then sighed and said with a faint smile, “After dying once, there will always be some changes. Some things will also change. Since the heavens have given me another chance to live, I can’t possibly be the same as before, can I?”

Midsummer was confused.

Chu Mengli stood for a while longer and felt a bit tired. She sighed at the weak body, it seemed that she needed to make a fitness plan after her injury, otherwise, in this ancient world where she might die from a cold, with her current physical condition, she would definitely not live for more than a few years. She did not want to pass away so early.

He went back to his room and lay down to sleep. He couldn’t sleep, and there was nothing fun to do. He saw a few books on a shelf in the corner, so he got up and picked out a book called “Four Kingdoms Chronicles” and started reading it while leaning on the bed.

There were some interesting stories about the Jianghu and the people in the book. Chu Mengli read them with relish, and only after Yuan’er brought her lunch did she reluctantly put the book down.

Yuan’er pouted her lips and brought out the dishes on the tray.

“Yo, who’s pissed us off?” Chu Mengli teased, “This little mouth of hers can hold four or five oil bottles.”

However, her pouting eyes turned red, “Miss, it’s all because of those women in the kitchen. As long as Master isn’t in the mansion, they will take care of your dishes, which should be two meat, two vegetables, and a soup. When I went there, that woman said that Third Miss’ appetite was so good that she took two dishes for you to eat. The more she spoke, the angrier her face became.

Chu Mengli looked at the two vegetables on the table and the green bean curd soup with a few spots of oil in it. Although she was angry, she was not angry, as she had expected this long ago. Although her father loved her, the backyard was managed by the Bai clan.

“If I’m not angry, why are you angry?” Chu Mengli consoled him, “Besides, I’m injured, so I should eat something light.” As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat slowly.

“They just don’t care about anything and see that young lady’s character is good. That’s why I have to bully you again and again. ” Xin’er took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe the corners of her eyes. “I felt wronged for the little miss. Yesterday I sent out this month’s salary, but Midsummer only received 50 taels. Isn’t this bullying us?”

You can even get a monthly allowance? Although fifty silver taels was not much, but the daily expenses of the yard were more or less spent. It seemed like the Bai Clan was afraid of their father, so they didn’t dare to mistreat him blatantly.

“Don’t be wronged, in the future, I will double the debt they owe me and get it back.” Chu Mengli put down her chopsticks and comforted her. Lowering his head, his eyes suddenly turned deep.
